Prospectors
T.X. Lattimore is 40. He has played 277 professional games. He is averaging 15.0 a week and shows no sign of stopping, which is not how this usually goes. He reads Normal, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.
He has 24,397 yards from scrimmage in eighteen seasons, and 389 touchdowns. There was a 2,448-yard year in there. This is not it. Five clubs have had him.
He turned forty this year. He is from Sable, North Dakota. He runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. He was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.
Prospectors, 7-3, and eleven weeks gone. Hoot Jessup is in year ten of it. He is out of contract after this.
Eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.
